The second and final installment of the Death Note live-action movie picks up from where part one left off. In a world where Death Gods (Shinigami) exist a boy who is sickened by the failure of the justice system is given the chance to create his own justice. A death Note gives its owner to kill a person by simply by picturing the victim’s face whilst writing his or her name into the note book. Having been given this opportunity our protagonist Light doesn’t take long to see what can be achieved by his newly given power. However Light soon finds out that his Death Note isn’t unique and in fact that some one else has started to follow in his footsteps.
First of all I’d like to give out a warning that those who are happily enjoying the anime should continue to finish it off before watching the movies. Although most of you have probably seen enough not to be spoiled by the first part of the film the second part does provide a conclusion to the Death Note series. The movie ending has been praised and preferred over the manga ending by many however this is still debatable. Although I’m not a manga fan myself I have heard that the manga like in many other situations is better than the anime. However this issue isn’t important as all three mediums, the manga, the movie and the anime are great works. The second part of the movie seemed to have improved, you will probably notice that the cg animation has improved. So seeing the new and improved Ryuk and other Shinigami is a bonus. Well all good things must end but we can hope that in the future there will be more live-action movies as great as this.
